    Why does the pic for this article look like Shocko is sprinting for the dessert table after Megatron reluctantly told him he could have seconds?

    Yeah, Tony, you’ve really stepped up your photography game over the last couple years or so.

    Still don\'t care about this mold with all the cheating in transformation and the extra giant backpack that does not go anywhere in gun mode. The new WFC toy looks far better in this regard.

    I usually never do this but- I\'ll wait for the KO. Seriously, this is the deco that he should have had to begin with back when he released. I would have bought it then for the 140 or so the original came out for. but 180? and now? after 2 years? nope.

    Love the new colors , this is Shockwave!

    But it is still a robot infected with the cheap hollow plastic syndrome. It is a lot of money for a CHPS "Masterpiece".

    It is really contradictory to call "masterpiece" to a CHPS robot.

    Nice try but still a big pass

    Cheap hollow plastic?

    Oh you mean the lower legs which are hollow to accomodate the awesome transformation and allow the legs to br curved and seductive unlike blocky Quakewave/blast?

    Its a running gag that DarkEyes can't make a post without using the phrase 'cheap hollow plastic syndrome' (copyright DarkEyes 2015), I wouldn't be too concerned.

    He's not hollow, but I won't call the lower legs awesome, because he can barely bend his knees, can't even go 90 degrees. for a Masterpiece toy to have worse knees than most CHUG toys is kind of poor

    I think I will be more patient buying figures from now on. Including MP figures. I HATE that I purchased the original version. This is SO much better.

    They're all custom one offs. Brought some shots from web into PS and edited/enlarged for the BG use. And then the colors on most seen are from the photo session as I was blasting colored light all over the place.

    The cartoon Cybertron one - that's an old wallpaper I did about 15-17 years ago, it's G1 episode screencaps cut and merged together to create a custom Cybertron city view.

    Remember - these were screencaps that were coming from 480p digital encodes of VHS tapes :) . Yes, I plugged a VCR into the back of a computer. :)  Sliced and chopped in Photoshop CS-OLD, with no training at the time.

    Gonna be keeping my collection show accurate, but, this fig is f***ing gorgeous!  For those who were stuck with Quakewave due to its color, here\'s your chance.  Best toy paint MP by far, so far!
